- Lead customers to value quickly by guiding technical teams, running effective enablement, and establishing strong success plans
- Build deep, trusted relationships with customer stakeholders at all levels, from hands-on users to executive sponsors
- Maintain a holistic understanding of each customer's goals, usage, and risk profile, proactively addressing issues before they escalate
- Partner closely with Sales to support renewals, identify expansion opportunities, and drive long-term account growth
- Act as a strategic voice of the customer, sharing insights with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap and execution
- Help shape and continuously improve Encord's post-sales motion, playbooks, and operating processes as the company scales
